The New Florida Senator.

In the Florida legislature on the 9th,
the vote for United States senator resulted
asfollows: Pasco, Dem, 81; Goodrich, Rep,
IT. Mr.. Pasco was declared elected. The
senator-elect, is native OF London, Eng,
aud is about forty eight years old. He
is an American citizen through the na tural-
ization OF his father before he attained his
majority. He is graduate OF Harvard
college. He served in the Confederate
army. He is now speaker OF the state
house OF representatives. He is a man OF
fair attainments and moderate fortune,
but has never been distinguished in politics
even in his own state. His collea.
que, Senator Call, said that his
election was undoubtedly the compromise
arranged between Perry and B]oxham, who
both withdrew from the contest. The
election leaves good feeling in the party in
Florida, and it is thought Mr.. Pasco will
as thoroughly represent his state as any ol
his predecessors. He succeeds Mr.. Jones
whose mysterious residence in Detroit fo1
year or two, is a national sacndal.

AMATEUR FARMING.
A Benevolent Gentleman Tries in Vain TO
Teach Calf How to Drink.

A Benevolent Gentleman Tries in Vain to
Teach Calf How to Drink.
Once upon time there was certain
man who had lived on farm in an
amateurish way for about three months;
and on beautiful summer day he
girded up his loins and went forth, with
ell the strength of his manhood and a
pail of fresh milk, to teach little red
calf, with soft brown eyes, to obtain the
Tactical nourishment in other than the
way prescribed by nature.
The little creature was waiting, all
alone, in one corner of shed, each leg
braced in a different direction, and with
a wondering expression on it's fiat little
northumberland face Subsequently
the following little monologue might
have been heard by listener in the ad-
joining shed:
$500, Bossy, so-o-so-o-so-o-o. :"
''Nice Bossy, Bossy, Bossy. Here's
some nice milk for him to drink"
''Put his nose ri chit down in the pail,
good boss. Ha-a-r! Where you goingP
Come back here! Now get into that
corner and drink your milk, you ornery
bruten'
"Nice milk-good for calfy-drink
like good bossy.'
''You won't, ehp Get your foot out
of that pail, you gal-whanged, mooley-
headed, little fool!'' ....
There, there. 5000. poor calfy,
calfy, calfy; drink his milk to make
him grow like a-Get off my foot, you
dod-gasted, clumsy, bull-headed luna
ticr'
Come, now, I've fooled long enough!
Stick your nose in that pail! Stick it
in there, say, or rl-O-o-o-h! What
are you buttin me in the stomach for?
Get over there, now; $780,
"You can have just one more chance;
I'll just stick my fingers in bossy's
mouth, and take his head between my
legs, and then the little fellow can see
how-Hold on there-where you going?
Let me off-you'l tip over the milk
pail whoop! There she goes-Take
that, and that, and that, and starve to
death II you want to, you Anticipated,
low-lived little runt of Durham-Oh,
don't stare at me in that way, you blank,
blanked four-footed lunatic!'
80, you needn't blat at me-you
want your milk bad enough nowhere
it is; six quarts, at three cents a quart,
gone to waste! You can stand in there
and blat and starve till wheat is two
dollars bushel, before I'd lift finger
ofeed such measly, knock-kneed, big
cared, slab-sided imp of Satan as you
are! I'd as lief pillow six acres in day"
And he went back to the house, and
held his peace; and when the hired man
came in he remarked, as though the
thought had just occurred to him, that
when the hired man got little time he
had better teach that red calf in the
sheep-shed to drink; and the hired man
went out straightway and taught him,
in just six minutes by the nickel-plated
watch which he traded the shotgun
for.-C N. Hood, IN Puck.
